With the help from donations from the public & businesses, and an army of volunteers, we made over 600 deliveries, thus sending 1,100,000 PPE items to frontline community staff across Scotland.
THANK YOU ALL!
'Shameful and toxic': MPs demand answers over billions of PPE going up in smoke. Glad ours were all CE marked & with certificates.

Health & social care worker access to FFP3 masks now allowed, during the transition period. 4m ago WHO updated recommendations on use of FFP2/FFP3 masks in light of the increased transmission of Omicron variant. Well done @scotgov though it took 2 years.

Yup
Johnson claims it’s a trade-off between protecting people from Covid & protecting the economy.
But the data show the opposite: countries that have managed to protect their population have generally protected their economy too.
Check S.Korea vs. UK:

Government paid firm linked to Tory peer £122m for PPE bought for £46m . This is disgraceful. We could have helped source CE certified PPE for no fee. We got ours through Chinese medical and importer friends.

We were right. Thank you all for allowing us to provide FFP3 masks to our NHS community staff during Spring & Winter outbreaks. Your generosity saved lives & ill health amongst our NHS staff.

Lovely to see a major donor get recognition for his generosity!
